BYD ATTO 3 REVIEW! WORTH YOUR MONEY?

EV Channels Review

The BYD Atto 3 'Design' trim is reviewed as a practical and well-equipped SUV, particularly notable for its sub- £40,000 price point in the UK, which avoids premium car tax. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior with good legroom, a large 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen with a responsive interface, and a surprisingly large boot with underfloor storage. Positives include the ease of choosing trims and the generous standard equipment. However, significant drawbacks are identified: a slower-than-expected DC charging speed (max 88 kW), which could impact long road trips, and the lack of physical climate control buttons, relying solely on the touchscreen or voice commands. The reviewer also notes the car's "floaty" driving feel on winding roads and a peculiar, potentially annoying, artificial driving sound at low speeds. A surprising omission for a modern EV is the lack of a rain sensor for the wipers. Despite these criticisms, the overall build quality is praised, with good materials used throughout the cabin, challenging preconceptions about Chinese-made vehicles.
